Opening answer. In June 2021 a global aerospace manufacturer countersigned a statement of work with EPC Group to upgrade its internal SAP version and then move its SAP reports into Microsoft Power BI. About 30 reports were in scope at the outset, possibly more. The work had a 90-day timeline. EPC Group ran SAP and Power BI teams in parallel, in coordination, and delivered train-the-trainer knowledge transfer alongside. The scope was set after deep-dive sessions with the client and testing against the data it provided.
Disclosure. This is an EPC-reported anonymized engagement summary. The client is not named. The countersigned statement of work is retained privately and is not published in the Evidence Center, so this account is outside the Evidence Center's documented-engagement counts. Every engagement fact below is taken from that document.
Verification class
Contracted — countersigned (EPC-reported; documents private). A project manager at the manufacturer signed version 3.0 of the statement of work electronically in June 2021. No report inventory after delivery, acceptance or outcome measurement is cited or claimed.
Buyer problem and scope
| Item | What the statement of work states |

Unknowns, not stated in the document cited: which SAP modules were involved, the final report count, user counts and any measured result.
Approach and artifacts
Two teams, one deadline. The SAP upgrade and the Power BI rebuild depend on each other, so the statement of work runs them in parallel to meet the 90-day timeline.
Scope from real data. Before committing to the timeline, EPC Group ran deep-dive sessions and tested against the client's actual data.
Leave the knowledge behind. Train-the-trainer sessions run during delivery.
